Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
By Joanna Weaver
The life of a woman today isn't really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord's feet . . . but the demands of a busy world just won't leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him . . . yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy. Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life . . . and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly he invites you to choose "the better part" . . . a joyful life of "living-room" intimacy with him that flows naturally into "kitchen service" for him. How can you make that choice? Weaver shows how all of us -- Marys and Marthas alike -- can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.
